As noted in an earlier post (https:\/\/www.detling.us\/?p=868 <\/a>) members of the Bunker Family Association expressed concerns about tourist incursion into the Bunker Garrison graveyard in Durham, New Hampshire. BFA Vice President Bette Richards\u00a0fired off a letter of protest to Great Bay headquarters. \u00a0Thankfully, it had a positive effect, as the following was received from a spokesperson of the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve:<\/p>\n

I am sensitive to the family wishes and am working on a
\nsolution. We originally highlighted the graveyard in the
\nPassport to Great Bay because we sincerely believe the
\nhistory of your family is important to the region. We try
\nhard to accommodate family wishes, stay true to the
\nmission of the reserve and terms of the deed, and ensure
\nwe are teaching people about the importance of local and
\nnatural history.<\/p>\n

The Passport original document had an associated flyer
\nfor each property. We have not handed out the passport
\nflyers at our Visitor\u2019s Center for some time, because some
\ninformation is outdated. We will not include directions to
\nthe graveyard in the next printing, nor include prompts for
\npeople to explore the graveyard. However, the effort to
\nupdate the materials will not happen this summer and the
\npassport is available online. I will look into the easiest way
\nto edit the online pdf or take it down with assistance from
\nour web support personnel.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Cory Riley<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
